Example Essay“He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” -- Ben Franklin.

As early as the founding of the United States of America, Mr. Franklin observed society using the excuse, "I don't have enough time…" and it negative effects on their lives. Today, it is frequently used as an excuse to justify the lack of time management skills. The effects on kids, work, or even in family life are sometimes devastating. In a day there are 24 hours, and "time" is available to juggle the daunting task of daily routines and prevent unwanted consequences. The first area the phrase’s unwanted results prevail is in children. While frantically circling the kitchen, trying to prepare supper, a neighbor of mine completely astounded me. Jane's son, Mathew, came into the kitchen through the old saloon style double doors, and asked his mom if he could walk uptown with his friends. Without batting an eye Jane answered the young boy, saying "Go ahead son. I don't have enough time to worry about you right now,” as she carried on with the twirling of a whisk in a pot of stew. It was only a couple hours before I peered out the window to see Mathew coming home in the back of a police cruiser. "I don’t have time…" opened the doors for the young, misguided youth to go astray. As a parent, I also find that I struggle with difficulties of my children's academics when I don't have enough time for them. My oldest daughter, Krista, has made excellent grades throughout her entire academic career. Recently, she has asked if I can help her research paper and answer some questions she may have. "I don't have enough time,” was my immediate response. Around three days went by and I found myself looking online through her grades. I noticed that on the research paper she turned in, she received a below standard grade. “I don’t have enough time…” left my daughter without important information she needed from me to complete her assignment. Another area the deceptive...

Living on the street can be tough, especially if you’re a teenager. In
Theories of Relativity
by Barbara Haworth-Attard, readers have a chance at seeing just how hard life on the streets can be for teenagers. We should study
Theories of Relativity
in the ENG3C course for many reasons, including how many students can relate to Dylan, because the book has many interesting characters and because of the lessons in the book. We should study
Theories of Relativity
in the ENG3C course because many students can
relate to Dylan. First of all, we can relate because we’re the same age as Dylan. For example,
Dylan is 16 when he is kicked out of his house (36) and that is the age that students are in ENG3C. Dylan being the same age as the readers makes the book more interesting to us because we can picture ourselves being the same age as Dylan and trying to survive on the streets. Second of all, Dylan has a lot of trouble with his mother. For example, Dylan has a long history with his mother
not being a good mother and having “to take care of Micah and Jordan” (53), his brothers, because she wasn’t able to. As teenagers, we can relate to Dylan and his mother’s r
elationship because we often find ourselves or know of friends who have trouble with their parents. Thirdly, Dylan has crushes on girls and likes to take care of his...

...Two Sample SAT Essays—Up Close
Below is our sample essay question, which is designed to be as close as possible to an essay question that might appear on the SAT.

What differentiated higher quality exampleessays from lower quality exampleessays?
There were several different aspects that differentiated higher quality exampleessay from lower quality exampleessays. Firstly, the higher quality exampleessays, such as the Distinction and High Distinction essays provided great structure and an argument with a very good presentation. The introduction in the Distinction essay introduced relevant literature and addressed the essay topic thoroughly. It summarized the topics which will be covered and noted relevant journals that will be drawn on, which made me conscious and prepared for the rest of the essay. The High Distinction essay was very similar and had the same impact, although it did not note relevant literature in the introduction. However, it presented an excellent front page cover with all relevant unit information. In both essays, the question of the essay was directly addressed and correct paragraph structure and concluding sentences were applied. Both followed a set plan and the complete essay flowed without getting off the topic. Relevant literature and various sources were well used and supported by...

...him up on the way. The boy has to build up his courage and face the gang. In both Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” and Richard Wright’s “The Rights to the Streets of Memphis”, there are important internal and external conflicts throughout the story that are being created as the characters try to survive.
Being washed up on a mysterious island and getting hunted down by crazy man are some examples of conflict in “The Most Dangerous Game”. “Your brain against mine. Your woodcraft against mine. Your strength and stamina against mine” (Connell 74). This quote from the story shows the external conflict between Rainsford and General Zaroff. The General is challenging him to a battle to the death. “The cat was coming again to play with the mouse” (Connell 77). This shows how the General is like the predator hunting down its prey. Rainsford is trying his best to survive. “Only the devil himself could follow that complicated trail through the jungle after dark” (Connell 76). This quote is an example of the conflict that Rainsford is going through with the jungle. This is an example of man vs. nature. Rainsford is thinking that the jungle is very hard to navigate through, which is an obstacle. The main conflict in this story is Rainsford trying to survive.
Getting beat up can teach you a couple of lessons. In “The Rights to the Streets of Memphis” the main character goes through a few conflicts. The poor little boy named...

...Example of a well structured essay. The content isn’t that exiting and the conclusion is quite weak, but there are many good points to make on the way the essay is structured and the way the information is put across. All my comments are highlighted thus.
A good introduction.
• Does the job of clearly defining the topic covered in the essay and the specific aspects which will be discussed. See in particular last sentence of introduction. ( We will be looking at the structure of introductions more specifically in another class. )
• Grabs reader’s attention by including stats and a quote.
If you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. According to recent research, “close to 50 percent of the general population report that they currently experience some degree of shyness in their lives. In addition, close to 80 percent of people report having felt shy at some point in their lives” (Payne, 2000, p.5). As shyness is so prevalent in the world, it is not surprising that social scientists are learning more about its causes. They have found that shyness in an individual can result from both biological and environmental factors.
This is the thesis statement of the essay. It is the most specific sentence of the intro and indicates clearly what will be covered in the essay, and in what way it will be covered. This may be too...

...device as a person with not a quench for red wine but a quench for blood. Wine is soon turned over from everything and is blatantly symbolized as death and destruction. They reference this more than once, in book 3 chapter 15 page 359 they say “Along the Paris streets, the death-carts rumble, hollow and harsh. Six tumbrils carry the day's wine to La Guillotine.”
In the novel A Tale of Two Cities wine of the many symbols Charles Dickens put in his book is one of the most important by symbolizing altogether blood, the revolution, death, and destruction. The first example is when the people dove in to drink the spilled wine off the ground and when the man dipped his fingers in the wine and wrote on the wall “blood” it symbolized blood and how it would soon spill in the streets of France. The second example is the Defarges, the leaders of the revolution, owning a wine shop symbolizes the wine as the revolution. The last example is the people personifying the guillotine as a person receiving its red wine symbolizing the red wine as death and destruction being eaten by the guillotine. Although objects in people’s lives may seem meaningless, they can actually hold a deeper meaning, such as the symbols represented in the novel A Tale of Two Cities.

...Argumentative Essay
Social responsibility is an ideal topic for debate; there have been mixed results for companies and individuals who have pursued social responsibility. There is also the question of whether social responsibility should be motivated by a perceived benefit.This type of essay is based on philosophical theories on the necessity of social responsibility backed up with facts about previous social responsibility efforts. For example, an essay could be about how giving support to disaster victims can significantly boost an entity's professional image.
Analytical Essay
Social responsibility is a broad field of study; there are numerous factors to analyze in determining which mix of factors will have the highest chance of a successful social responsibility effort. For example, an author can look into the different types of philanthropy that address a social injustice, including: giving monetary gifts, hosting social awareness events and starting a sub-organization which addresses the issue at hand. Each type of social effort may have varying levels of effectiveness depending on the people's acceptance and the complexity of the issue itself.
